I scream! You scream! We all scream for Eli Roth’s ICE CREAM MAN! Check out the teaser poster now!
The Horror Section today announced that horror auteur Eli Roth’s chilling new film ICE CREAM MAN will hit theaters on August 7, 2026.
ICE CREAM MAN follows an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results.
The film stars Ari Millen (“Orphan Black”) as the titular character, along with Benjamin Byron Davis (Guardians of the Galaxy 3), Karen Cliche (Thanksgiving), Dylan Hawco (“Heartland”), Sarah Abbott (Netflix’s The Body, Poser), Shiloh O’Reilly (Thanksgiving), Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), and Charlie Storey (Thanksgiving). Rounding out the cast is Roth himself, the visionary behind the Cabin Fever franchise, the Hostel franchise, and Thanksgiving, among many other cult classics.
Along with directing and producing the film, Roth co-wrote the script with longtime collaborator Noah Belson (The Rotten Fruit). The film features an original score from Emmy Award®-winning composer Brandon Roberts with additional music by Snoop Dogg, and horrifying prosthetic makeup effects by Steve Newburn (Thanksgiving) and Academy Award® winner Adrien Morot (Thanksgiving, The Whale). Cream Productions’ Kate Harrison (Thanksgiving) served as producer alongside Roth.
ICE CREAM MAN is Roth’s first film under The Horror Section’s banner, following the company’s launch in March 2025. The Horror Section super-serves fans by owning and controlling a premium intellectual property library of horror films, television series, games, and podcasts, in addition to curating horror-centric experiences. In addition to Ice Cream Man, The Horror Section’s upcoming slate includes Don’t Go In That House, Bitch! – with Snoop Dogg as a producer with Death Row Pictures as well as to star – and Stiletto from director Sam Gonzalez Jr and producer and star Gigi Gustin, which is based on a story from Gustin.
